rGenomeTracks

rGenomeTracks wraps the functionality of pyGenomeTracks to enable interactive visualization of epigenomic data files within R sessions.

Key Features:

• pyGenomeTracks Integration: rGenomeTracks provides complete access to pyGenomeTracks visualization capabilities from within R.
• Interactive R Session Support: rGenomeTracks enables use of pyGenomeTracks functionality within R interactive sessions, which pyGenomeTracks alone does not support.
• Epigenetic Data File Support: rGenomeTracks handles visualization of narrowPeak, Hi-C matrix, TADs, and arcs file formats.
• R User Utilities: rGenomeTracks includes additional utilities to enhance usability for R users.

Scientific Applications:

• Epigenomic Data Visualization: rGenomeTracks generates visualizations of epigenetic data for integrative analysis of genomic and epigenomic datasets.
• Chromatin Interaction Analysis: rGenomeTracks displays Hi-C matrices, TADs, and arc data to study three-dimensional genome organization.
• Peak Visualization: rGenomeTracks renders narrowPeak files to display enrichment regions from ChIP-seq and similar assays.

Methodology:

rGenomeTracks wraps the Python-based pyGenomeTracks software for use within R interactive sessions.
